Section 2: Evaluating Color Printers
Evaluating Environmental Impact
Environmental impact can be assessed in a variety of ways. The most obvious is the
waste generated by the operation of an MFP. Another factor to consider is the weight
of supplies, and how that compares to supply weight for other printer types. Lastly,
think about the storage space required by MFP supplies — and remember that less is
more when you opt for Xerox solid ink supplies.
How the Phaser 8860MFP
exceeds in reducing
environmental impact:
Less Waste
Most people would agree that creating less
waste is a good thing for the environment.
It results in less waste, less CO
in shipping, and less hassle for you. See the
comparison of the waste created over four
years of printing (approximately 192,000
pages) between laser and solid ink. The dif-
ference is as clear as night and day.
By nature of the cartridge-free design
of Xerox solid ink technology, the Phaser
8860MFP produces a fraction of the waste
generated by competing color laser prod-
ucts. Utilizing the standard duplex printing
capabilities will also decrease the amount
of paper your office consumes.
Less Weight
Think about how much the supplies
for your printer weigh. Lighter-weight
supplies can help you save money on
shipping costs and reduce CO
The cartridge-free design of Xerox solid
ink reduces the overall weight of supplies
significantly. One way of comparing this is
to examine the number of pages that can
be printed per kilogram of consumable
supplies:

Less Space
Xerox understands that space in your
office is at a premium. Purchasing equip-
ment with consumables that take up
less space also contributes to savings in
shipping costs, reduced CO
in shipping, and helps free up in-house
storage. Over the course of four years of
printing, the approximate space required
for consumables is:
• Typical Color Laser — approximately
80,735 cubic inches

449 vs. 23 lbs. of waste
Think beyond the ink. The benefits
of solid ink go beyond cost and
color quality.
Over the course of printing 192,000
pages, the waste generated by typical
cartridge-based toner amounts to an
astounding 449 lbs. Xerox solid ink, on
the other hand, produces only 23 lbs.
of waste — an amazing ratio of
almost 20 to 1.
